Typical Vermont Prison
Vermont Judge: Prison No Place for Work
We are all prisoners in this life, except prisoners. McGarry was a PhD student, which is prima facie evidence of a character disorder and an aversion to work. Moreover, 25 cents an hour is better than anything he’ll earn with a doctorate in chemistr from UV. Most of McGarry’s inmate acquaintances already knew more about profit-making chemistry than he did, and look where they are…

Amazing!
The biggest mistake in this nonsense was not shooting the clown for breathing.
